   Try to write the javascript code line by line then we know that condition from where to where, there is problem of missing closing brackets in your script.

   Write the below code

   messageHeigth=-10;
   if((y>10)&&(y<510))
   {
   m.style.top=y-messageHeigth+"px";
   }
   then we can get the tooltip text, i am also using firefox 3.5 only, it is working fine now.

   see the live demo @ http://labs.anil2u.info/tooltip.php

   Hi, i Just got the solution,

   The Solution is, Go to HTML part and change this line

   onmouseover=”showtip(event,’message’);”

   with below line

   onmousemove=”showtip(event,’message’);”

   You will get sliding Tooltip with the movement of your Mouse.

   Thanks

    Hello Pratap,

    If adjust the x and y positions then above code will works fine. Or once check the URL : http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/MaskedEdit/MaskedEdit.aspx
